Convenience store in Auckland

“I have known Neil and Lee Ann for over 13 years on a professional level. They have always offered up great service everytime. They have addressed any issues I've had and I have had no problem referring them to my family and friends as my mechanical professionals to anyone looking for a good quality workshop and WOF center. Highly recommended more so if you own any age Holden. I take all my cars there. Sometimes you have to travel in order to find good professional service.”

“Great people. Easy to deal with Great prices it's the best mechanic i have ever had to deal with if u want good quality work done to ur vehicles I definitely recommend Parakai automotive”

“Always good service and a good range of products. They usually stock locally sourced timber when they can. Good trade account service and deliveries too”

“Outstanding delivery. The driver was helpful, fast and gave me a great service.”

“A first time visit. I couldn't find two or three items. One of the staff went with me, took the items from the shelves and into my trolley. Asked if I needed something else. I had done my shopping, so thanked him. I liked the place so much, I bought a few extras.”

“Always friendly and a great place to pick up your daily necessities”

“I love this store. Very clean, tidy shelving, easy to find items. The isles are quite wide for a small store, so no one bumps into each other. Produce is fresh. Meat selection is good. It has this really calming feel for simmering so stressful for me as grocery shopping.”

“Pak’nSave Albany is one of the bigger branches on the North Shore, and it definitely shows. The store is spacious, fairly modern, and usually well-stocked, making it a popular choice for families and bulk shoppers. It keeps to the classic Pak’nSave model — low prices, minimal decor, and a focus on practicality over presentation — but the Albany location feels a bit more polished than some of the older ones. The layout is easy to follow, with wide aisles and clear signage, so you’re not bumping trolleys every few seconds. The shelves are usually full, especially earlier in the day, and there’s a decent range of both budget brands and the more well-known labels. Prices are, as expected, very competitive. You’ll find good specials across most departments, and if you’re shopping for a big household, it’s one of the better options to keep costs down. The fresh produce section is generally reliable. Some days the quality is top notch, other times it’s more average — pretty normal for Pak’nSave. The meat section offers good value and a decent selection, and the bakery is basic but has all the essentials. There’s also a reasonable selection of international foods, which reflects the local community well. Staff are usually friendly enough, though it’s mostly a self-service experience unless you go looking for help. Checkout times are fairly efficient, with a good number of lanes open during busy periods and a decent set of self-service checkouts for smaller shops. The carpark is big, but it does fill up, especially on weekends. That said, it’s well laid out and doesn’t feel like a fight to find a spot, even when it’s busy. Being close to other stores and amenities makes it easy to combine errands in one trip. One thing to note, like at other Pak’nSaves, is that what’s advertised online might not always match what’s in store, so it’s worth shopping with a bit of flexibility. All up, Pak’nSave Albany is a good choice if you want decent prices, a clean store, and enough space to do a full shop without feeling crammed in. It’s practical, reliable, and does exactly what you’d expect — no frills, just solid savings.”

“Raced into Farmers (Nor west) to update my foundation. However I had my product wrong name. Any other assistance could have said- no, we don't have that, but Mina (beautiful Persian woman) went the extra mile to find out what I actually wanted, and sourced the product from another counter. Her gracious manner throughout, reminded me that purchases for myself deserve to be less hurried and to enjoy taking time for me.”

“New to puppy ownership and have had several great experiences in the last 2 weeks. Dan & Haili (sorry if I have that wrong) were amazingly knowledgeable, providing options and advice. As well as other team members keen to assist. Skye is a magnet for attention. New toy is a hit. Thank you!”

“Happy with service and WOF, transparency of the workshop, efficiency and how as a customer I was treated. Would absolutely return and recommend. We came here due to a very negative experience with a dodgy workshop at the new car dealer we purchased our car from, and I learned the hard way those guys are untrustworthy and should never service a car outside of the initial service agreement.”

“Tracey is a superstar! I want to thank her for a professional advice and great customer service!”
